Success For The Second In Command: Leading From the Second Chariot

Too often people have the mentality that second place means second class. Pastor Billy Hornsby sets out to debunk that mentality by showing there are many benefits in being second in command. Hornsby explains that what makes the number-two position difficult is often caused by the environment we grow up in. For the most part, it is an egotistical world that only looks out for number one. He points out this is a dangerous mindset. Everyone is subordinate to someone—some board, some coach, some law, some other leader.

Hornsby outlines the difficulties of being second and provides an in-depth look at the key personal traits, leadership skills, and qualifications of those second in command. About the
